Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 21. Feb 2022
Thema von InteresseMusikReisenSport
I am a teacher here on Italki and I am from Dublin, Ireland. I am a native English speaker and I want to help you with your conversational English skills! In college, I studied sports coaching and nutrition. I am used to working with people, giving classes, and working 1 to 1. So I am no stranger to the teacher-student environment. At the moment, I'm currently in São Paulo! I love the Brazilian culture and I have been learning Brazilian Portuguese since 2018. I love music, travelling and working out. I am a black belt in Shotokan karate and I represented Ireland on the national team for 3 years at an international level.
I am very easy going and I love talking to people.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, I would describe myself as a kind and patient teacher. Having 10 years experience being in some sort of teaching position. I want to bring it here on Italki and help you. I enjoy when people ask me about my culture so please don't be afraid to ask. I put the student first in the class with their goals. My main goal is communication, to help you to be able to express yourself, improve your pronunciation, to incorporate slangs, expressions and other things you will use in your day to day life and to feel more confident speaking to a native English speaker!
To improve your speaking, you must talk. Mistakes are part of the process so don't be afraid to make them!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
In my lessons, we will take different topics and situations you can find yourself in. From a basic conversation with your friend in a coffee shop to the workplace or a debate on a particular subject.
Each lesson we will take one or two topics and focus on key words and phrases in those particular subjects! Pronunciations!
My teaching style is very relaxed and natural so when you do come in contact with a native English speaker or a fluent English speaker you will have the confidence behind you to talk to them. I want the student to be comfortable and be themselves so they can enjoy the class a lot more. Just be yourself!
Let's work together!
Really good class! Thanks Craig!
Excelente aula! Eu estou na Irlanda e estou apanhando bastante pra endender o sotaque deles aqui. O Craig deu dicas muito boas e os exemplos em português (que ele sabe) facilitam o entendimento!
Parabéns Craig!

Uma aula incrível! Conseguimos falar sobre diferentes temas, assim como identificar os pontos em que eu realmente preciso melhorar. Senti bastante confiança e profissionalismo. Todas as vezes em que travei para falar, Craig foi super paciente e amigável. Apesar de também falar português, a aula foi 100% em INGLÊS, o que ajuda demais a não ficar na zona de conforto! O legal é que ele conhece as expressões brasileiras, então era fácil encontrar um equivalente no inglês, o que deixa a fala mais "natural". Tenho certeza que aprenderemos bastante juntos. Mal posso esperar para os próximos encontros! Thank you so much teacher Craig! (:

Craig est un super prof. Les lessons sont très vivantes, il trouve toujours des sujets de conversation intéressants et a tout le temps le sourire.
Si vous préférez la pratique à la théorie, de manière ludique, alors n'hésitez pas à réserver une leçon.
